Beautiful Spanish Prefab Home Constructed in Just Three Days

One of the biggest benefits to <a href="../architecture/prefab-housing/" target="_blank">prefabricated construction</a> is fast onsite assembly. But against popular opinion, haste doesn't always mean waste! This stunning new prefab home in Cedeira, Spain is the perfect example of how beautiful form and modern function don't have to fall out of favor when it comes to speed. Designed by Spanish studio <a href="http://www.mycc.es/" target="_blank">MYCC</a>, this sleek prefab was built offsite in a factory in Madrid, and then transported by truck to a site where it was assembled in just 3 days (the remaining finish work took two more weeks). By coupling swift assembly with a simple design, MYCC was able to create to a gorgeous, eco-friendly house over-looking the ocean.

Located on a steep slope overlooking the ocean and surrounded by forests of eucalyptus trees, the home drew inspiration from its surroundings.

Constructed out of 6 modules, the home has a simple facade with a steep roof reminiscent of nearby farmhouses.

Designed by MYCC and built in the facilities of the construction company IDM in Valdemoro, the home was transported via truck 700 km to its current location.

The bottom floor contains all of the living spaces, while a bonus room was built in the void below the roof. This extra room boasts a spectacular panoramic view of the ocean.

The front and back facades are covered in perforated Cor-ten steel patterned with tree cutouts to mimic the surrounding forest.

One module makes up the bedroom, another the bathroom and utilities. A third is for the stairs and kitchen and the last three make up the living area.

The steel facade serves to let diffused light into the home, minimizing solar gain and acting as a shade screen.

At night, light from the inside shines out through the perforations in a beautiful pattern illuminating the front deck.

The pattern of the facade was inspired by the surrounding forest.

The home was assembled onsite in three days and the remaining finishes were completed in just two weeks.
